Jim Fannin Show: How To Prepare For A Big Event

The U.S. Open is one of the most notoriously difficult events in all of pro sports. It’s an event that has caused great mental anguish from the most poised players, ranging from Tiger Woods to Phil Mickelson. Who’s prepared to win this week?

Whether it’s a golf tournament, sales presentation or ultra-marathon the average response is to step into the arena and try to figure out how to win. But the True Champion wins first, and then walks into the arena. This episode is all about the mental and practical aspects of preparing for a big event and walking away with the prize.

Overthinking is one of the top reasons that would-be great performances are wrecked. Which is why my guest Brian Mogg, one of the top golf instructors in the world, joins us this week to share tactics on how to prepare, perform and recover when the pressure is on. Whether the goal is to win a golf tournament with $50 million in prize money or closing a key business deal, preparation is the key.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Inside tips on winning this year’s U.S. Open and why Brian Mogg is instructing his players to shop at a local market or go for a walk on the beach after a round at the storied Shinnecock Hills Golf Club.

• The astonishing story of Justify, the second Triple Crown winning racehorse of the modern era.

• How Kevin Durant joined a very elite list of players with his clutch scoring during the Golden State Warriors sweep of the NBA finals.

• Why cavities and tooth decay may be coming to an end (really!)

• Why I’m so personally connected to the French Open and Rafael Nadal’s 11 (astonishing) victories.

Who’s in the Zone? (during the past week)

• How to achieve simplicity and focus around preparing for a major event, and how to anticipate and insulate yourself from anything that may pull your thoughts into the past or future (which hurts your performance).

Also, I answer a question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about how to get started on “reinvention.”
